After a lot of thinking about this, I decided that all operation modes
that I've tried over the past couple of years, including the original
2.79 one, have their uses after all. Thus the only reasonable solution
is to add yet another option.
The modes are:
- Strict: The current 2.80 mode, which overrides the original scaling
of the non-free axes to strictly preserve the volume. This is the most
obvious way one would expect a 'Maintain Volume' constraint to work.
- Uniform: The original 2.79 mode, which assumes that all axes have been
scaled the same as the free one when computing the volume. This seems
strange, but the net effect is that when simply scaling the object
uniformly with S, the volume is preserved; however, scaling the non-
free axes individually allows deviating from the locked volume.
This was obviously intended as a more or less convenient UI tool.
- Single Axis: My own variant of the intent of the Uniform scale, which
does volume-preserving if the object is scaled just on the Free axis,
while passing the non-free axis scaling through. I.e. instead of
uniform S scaling, the user has to scale the object just on its
primary axis to achieve constant volume. This can allow reducing the
number of animation curves when only constant volume scaling is needed,
or be an easier to control tool inside a complex rig.
Refactor a bit node selection code, mostly in the socket selection in
one place 'extend' logic usage was inverted, deselection of other
sockets/nodes was not working properly.
Also now make node active when selecting a socket, this makes more sense
and makes the NODE_OT_link_viewer macro much more useful (this is the
only user of the 'socket select' feature currently, afaics).
Unlike location and rotation, there is a meaningful definition of
overall/average scaling via the total change in the volume. This
adds an option to retrieve that via a single driver variable,
instead of having to use three and an expression.
Using the determinant to compute the volume scaling also allows
detecting flipping due to negative scale - this is impossible
to do via the three variable approach.
The volume_scale functions are added purely for code readability:
'volume scale factor' is easier to understand than determinant.

A template_curve_mapping with brush=True was always resetting the curve
to a positive slope (descending from left to right).
Behaviour is now changed so that specifying "use_negative_slope" is
taken into account as well.
Also use this for:
- paint "cavity_curve"
- gpencil "curve_sensitivity" / "curve_strength" / "curve_jitter" /
"interpolation_curve"

Mainly covers RNA callbacks which were still doing direct scene update,
which was causing crashes. Now corresponding ID_RECALC flags are used,
so all scenes can update accordingly.
Also tested animated volume/pitch on strips, which now works as well.

Only a few icons are colored, which caused some random icons to be colored and
others not. We can add it back for specific menus later (like add object or
modifiers).
New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / jendrzych:
- New icons for select tool modes
- Brought back screen icon for viewport visibility toggles
- Added new Instanced visibility toggle (unused currently - meant for forthcoming updates to the Outliner)
- New Gizmo icon for the header
- Many tweaks and alterations to existing icons. Full list on Devtalk
- Use correct icon when Proportional Editing is disabled
Due to some fields in the context being NULL access was happening
to the default view layer, not the active one.
Simply re-arranged context initialization, so it happens before
accessing dependnecy graph.

Suggested by users on Devtalk.
This can easily happen if adding drivers through Python via
pose.bones[...].bone.driver_add(), e.g. in Rigify code: the
bone field doesn't change id_data, so the driver is associated
with the object ID.
To handle this it's necessary to skip from Object to data in
RNA_Bone-specific code both for generic RNA and in the custom
code for drivers. The latter also had to be changed to use the
proper parsed RNA pointer instead of string matching on paths.
Usually the brush type is correct, but for some old files the brush could be a not valid type. In this case, returns the object active material.

Workbench/Eevee now displays multiple multi-materials correctly.
Iterate over pbvh nodes when doing object iteration. This makes the
rendering process more streamlined and allow for using different materials.
This change will make possible to:
- Add culling pass of each pbvh leaf node. (speedup if zoomed on a small
area)
- Reduce number of lead node iteration.
- Reduce code complexity
Makes the file browser operator property region (lower left) dynamically
sized to content. Previously, the default size would work really badly
for file browsers opened in small windows, e.g. to install Add-ons from
the preferences window. It would be mostly empty but use lots of space
then.
